Pros

It's a very simple place to work. Clock in, do your job, clock out. I've found all of my coworkers to be very nice people that are more than willing to help if I need it. Even my managers are fun to be around. I haven't used it because I absolutely refuse to eat fast food, but employees get a 50% discount; manager meals are free. The customers, for the most part, are cordial and friendly.

Cons

Occasionally, you'll get some asinine customer that will treat you like dirt. As a female, it's worse since I'm required to wear a nametag- male customers will call you by name and give you a weird, creepy smile. The cash register system is terrible. Clocking in and logging in to a register isn't the bad part- it's that after you log into a register, you can't always control who gets on, especially if you're in a different part of the store. Some of my coworkers used my drawer several times, and it came up short later in the week. Some coworkers aren't exactly a joy to be around. Be very careful about what you do and say, as you will probably be working with one or two unstable characters. A coworker of mine attempted to ask me on a date; when I ignored him, he blew up and treated me poorly. One thing I would really like to point out is that the training is absolutely atrocious; it is the biggest joke ever. Doing fast food itself is not a hard job, but it's certainly not easy when you have no work experience whatsoever. Such was the case with me, and my first few days weren't pretty. Expect to be trailing around behind a manager or constantly relying on coworkers for your first few days.

Pros

Half off food off and some managers are good.

Cons

They don't give you free meals. For one station they expect you to be at two stations at once both putting in orders and cleaning dishes instead of having one person do one at a time. The female managers can be a bunch of drama queens especially the store manager. Managers sent me home early and I was always the one sent home early even though I was always sent home early. For the store manager if you make any mistakes she will make a big deal about it. They expect you to know how to do a station perfectly even though they only showed you how to do it once and you are pretty much on your own from there and will be viewed as incompetent if you don't get it right away. Reduced my hours without telling me and also sending me home without a explanation for both hours and sending me home. There is no consistent pay day so depending on your bank you will get your money at different times compared to your co-workers. I did not have this problem for McDonald's For a job while in school do not work here unless you have no other options for employment. In some cases it is better to be unemployed and look to work for other companies then deal with this excessive level of nonsense and there are some other stuff I have not mentioned but I don't want to drag it out. The only reason why I rate this 2 stars instead of 1 is because at least to my knowledge they did not do anything illegal.
